Italy

The event made the unification of Italy possible is Risorgimento. As for Germany it was made possible by the Franco- Prussian War.

Attila's invasion of Gaul and then of Italy were not as destructive as it is sometimes thought.

Attila's invasion of Gaul was stopped by a combined force of Romans and their Frankish , Burgundians, and Visigoth allies at the battle of the Catalaunian Plains (or Battle of Châlons). This was a titanic battle. The both forces It has been estimated the opposing forces had 50-80,000 men each. The death toll was enormous. Before this battle, Attila ravaged northern Gaul. However, historians disagree about the extent to which this invasion was damaging to the Romans. Some more recent historians argue that ts significance has been enormously exaggerated in conventional history.

Attila invade northern Italy up to the river Po. He sacked many cities and razed the border city of Aquileia to the ground. However, he had to abandon this invasion. One of the major reason was a famine which hit Italy in 451, the year before the invasion due to crop failure. In 452 there was crop failure again. This meant that Attila would not have bee able to feed his troops, had he decided to march on Rome. Moreover, Roman troops from the eastern part of the Roman Empire were sent to the Hungarian plains, the Homeland of the Huns. These defeated the Hun troops Attila had left behind to defend the homeland. The Romans negotiated Attila's withdrawal and a peace treaty. Unable to sustain his campaign and to defend his homeland, Attila agreed to this. Therefore, the destructiveness of Attila's invasion of Italy was of limited extent.

Like much of Italy, the city of Pisa has a Mediterranean climate. The rainiest months in Pisa are December and January.

The current situation in Italy is that the birth rate is higher than the death rate but this gap is closing and by 2015 the death rate will be higher than the birth rate. This is not just going to happen in Italy it is a something that is happening in across Europe and the developed world. People are living longer and not having children until later in life and having less children.

It depends on your nationality. It is better to ask at the Italian Embassy in person, by telephone, or on the internet.

no that was in WWI

Actually in both wars they switched sides.

-Before WW1 they were aligned with Germany but switched when the war started.

-When the Allies invaded Sicily during WW2 the Italians surrendered and joined the Allies, but Benito Mussolini was rescued by Germany and he started the Italian Social Republic in Northern Italy, It became Allies (US, UK, Italy) VS. Axis (Germany, Italian Social Republic).

Italy was under the hegemony of both France and Austria around the time of the American Revolution. Milano and Venice were in the Austrian sector. on the other hand the Italian astronomer Cassini, who discovered the Cassini division in the rings of Saturn, and edited the first astronomical almanac - since l679 it has been published- In PARIS. so there hegemony worked both ways.

The largest, most famous, and most important island that belongs to Italy is the island of Sicily on the southern tip.

Well, i bought a perfume from Gucci and it said "made in Italy" so I would assume that the shoe boxes say the same thing.

The Risorgimento, the movement for Italian unification in the 19th century, significantly transformed the government of Italy by leading to the establishment of a unified Italian state in 1861. It ended centuries of regional fragmentation and foreign domination, replacing various kingdoms and states with a centralized constitutional monarchy under the House of Savoy. This unification fostered a sense of national identity and laid the groundwork for future political developments, including the establishment of a republic in 1946. The movement also influenced political ideologies and governance structures, paving the way for modernization and reforms in the Italian political landscape.

There have been over 200 Italian popes.

Sky blue was the color of the Royal House of the Kingdom of Italy. In its first match, the Italian national team wore white shirts with shorts from the club of each player; the sky blue shirts were introduced in the following match. Azzurro (singular of azzurri) was the royal family (Savoia) color. It wasn't changed when the Italian Republic was born in 1946, because for too many years "azzurri" identified Italian national teams.

The Airport is not too far but it is not well connected to the city. Moreover I would not suggest to travel from Ciampino since the airport hasn't the minimum required security infrastructures. If something happens (hope not of course), it would be a tragedy. The lane is too short.... The lane lacks the space to stop the place in case of emergency... Fly to Fiumicino, it's much better!!!

To translate "a taste of Italy" from English to Italian, you would say "un assaggio d'Italia." In this translation, "un" means "a," "assaggio" means "taste," and "d'Italia" means "of Italy." The phrase captures the essence of experiencing the flavors and culture of Italy in a concise manner.

The dialect was that of the Florentine's or people from Florence. I believe it was referred to as Florentine and was popularized by the great artists that wrote in the language.

The Pope of the Catholic Church is Francis, no matter where you live.

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, became the 266th pope on March 13, 2013, succeeding Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI). He is the first pope of the Americas, the first pope born outside Europe in more than 1000 years, and the first pope to take his name from St. Francis of Assisi.
